Travel Guides & Tips in this video

Nahana explores Hong Kong's budget accommodation by staying in two hotels. The first room is coffin-sized, cramped, and unclean, with mold, a cockroach, and a poorly maintained bathroom. The staff are kind, but Nahana checks out and finds a more suitable hotel farther from the city center, where the room is more spacious and comfortable. She also takes a ferry to Hong Kong Island and rides a tram up to Victoria Peak. Her experience connects the city's high housing costs with the contrast between cramped rooms and the views around the city.

I TRIED 1-Star Hotels in HONG KONG 🇭🇰 (Coffin-Sized)

Trying a coffin hotel in Hong Kong

Nahana arrives in Hong Kong, a place known for high living costs, and books a budget hotel. The low price draws her in, but the room is cramped, coffin-sized, and in poor condition. She finds mold and a cockroach, and describes the bathroom as unclean. The experience is uncomfortable, although she says the staff are kind and helpful. The visit gives her a direct look at one form of very small, low-cost accommodation in a city where space is limited and housing is expensive.

Nahana decides to check out and look for another place to stay. Her next hotel is farther from the city center, but the room is more spacious, clean, and comfortable. Comparing the two stays makes the differences clear: the first is tiny and poorly maintained, while the second offers more room at the cost of a less central location. The video follows this change in plans and shows why she chooses to move.

A ferry and tram ride

Beyond the hotels, Nahana takes a ferry to Hong Kong Island. The ride offers views across the water and gives her a different way to move around the city. She then rides a tram up to Victoria Peak, where she sees the surrounding city from above. The ferry and tram become highlights of the trip outside the accommodation experience.

Her visit brings together the city's housing challenges and its scenic areas. The two hotels reveal a sharp difference in comfort and cleanliness, while the ferry and tram show parts of Hong Kong that she enjoys seeing. The account is based on her own stay and route, and contrasts a cramped low-cost room with a more comfortable option farther from downtown, followed by transport rides that offer views of the city.
